Our study suggests a potential availability of beta-catenin/Wnt signaling pathway as a target of molecular manipulation for treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma and a potential association between the pathway and the trkA/neurotrophin cascades.

TH in BM above median indicated worse outcome for a homogenous cohort with high-risk neuroblastoma (survival probability 91% for TH below median versus 33% for TH above median, p = 0.009).
To better understand the biological pathways involved in the development of high-risk neuroblastoma, we performed parallel global protein and mRNA expression profiling on NB tumors of stage 4 MYCN-amplified (4+) and stage 1 MYCN-not-amplified (1-) using isotope-coded affinity tags (ICAT) and Affymetrix U133plus2 microarray, respectively.
Although autologous tandem hematopoietic SCT has improved the prognosis of patients with advanced high-risk neuroblastoma, the results remain unsatisfactory.
Inhibition of PLK1 using BI 2536 exhibits strong antitumor activity on human neuroblastoma cells in vitro and in vivo, opening encouraging new perspectives for the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma.
Ectopic up-regulation of PTPRD in neuroblastoma dephosphorylates tyrosine residues in AURKA resulting in a destabilization of this protein culminating in interfering with one of AURKA's primary functions in neuroblastoma, the stabilization of MYCN protein, the gene of which is amplified in approximately 25 to 30% of high risk neuroblastoma.
Thus, PEA15 and its partners ERK and RSK2 are potential targets for the development of new therapeutics to impede progression of minimal residual disease in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma.
To report the early outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma treated with proton radiotherapy (RT) and to compare the dose distributions for intensity-modulated photon RT (IMRT), three-dimensional conformal proton RT (3D-CPT), and intensity-modulated proton RT to the postoperative tumor bed.
Thus, PEA15 and its partners ERK and RSK2 are potential targets for the development of new therapeutics to impede progression of minimal residual disease in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma.
